Does Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty add new romance options? If you're looking for love in Night City and hope to find it in the new Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, you may be a little surprised to learn that the storyline doesn't introduce any new romanceable characters. However, that doesn't mean the storyline completely neglected romance in the new expansion.
In this guide, we'll share what you can expect with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty romance options, including an overview of what you can expect from the romanceable characters in the game's new DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty romance options
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty does not add any new romance options, but the previously-romanceable characters have new dialogue and cutscene content in the expansion. As you could in the base game, you can romance Judy, Panam, Kerry, and River, plus you could have a few side rendezvous or visit the Joytoys. You can read more about them in our Cyberpunk 2077 romance guide.
Romance options have not changed in Cyberpunk 2077 with the release of Phantom Liberty. Unfortunately, this means Solomon Reed, the character played by Idris Elba, is not a romance option in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Similarly, you cannot romance Songbird, one of the other main characters in the Phantom Liberty expansion.
However, the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty storyline dives deeper into the primary romance narratives. Players who appreciate the game's romance options will find the expansion adds some depth to them. Phantom Liberty also adds a new ending, which can have a bearing on your romantic attachments.
So, while it may be disappointing to some that there are no brand-new romance options, the CD Projekt RED team hasn't completely neglected romance and instead chose to build on those initial threads developed in the base game.
